Little bumps under the skin that itch like crazy?

Question

Sometimes I get the urge to scratch and when I look at the area there are little pimple size bumps under the skin. The itch is very bad and I make myself bleed, it comes and goes over the day but is getting worse as time goes on. Its on my forearms, stomach and lower legs.

goody2shoes it is NOT shingles, and what a horrible thing to say.

Answer 1

Is this like when you get stung by nettles. If so it is an allergy, whatever it looks like it sounds like you are allergic to something. Have you changed your washing powder or conditioner lately. You could go to your GP and ask to get checked for allergies. You can get anti histamine tablets from the chemist and try them but if you are allergic to something it is best to find out what it is so you can avoid it

Answer 2

Well = it could be hives. Try to put some benadryl cream on them next time to see if it makes the itching stop. Witchhazel will also stop your skin from itching. Also another thing - my husband gets heat rash that looks like lots of little pimples, and he uses gold bond powder to prevent it, but if he forgets, he just sratches all night, even in his sleep!!

Oh dear.

You might be allergic to your laundry detergent. Try one that's free of dyes and perfumes.

If that doesn't work, see a dermatologist.

Good luck!
